THE WIN DOW
TELLS THE STORY.

One of our large show
windows - Seventh street
side 4 is filed with samples
of our peerless $15 Spring
Suits for gentlemen. There
are about sixty samples on
exhibition, each one rep
resenting a full line of its
kind. mon e the ele-
CANT fabrics from which
these Suits are made are to
be found Auburn Cassi-
meres, Chase's Cassimeres,
Smythe's English Cheviots,
English Serges in black and
blue, warranted not to
crock or lose their colors,
Yacht Cloths, the best pro-
ductions of the celebrated
Charlottesville oolen
Mills, and other makes of
American and foreign
woolens too numerous to
mention. The styles are
Sack and Cutaway frock.
The colors vary from
plain black to very light.
Of the sixty SAMPLES each
one is of a different de-
sign. Surely this is an as
sortment of kinds, styles,
and colors from which the
most fastidious taste can be
gratified. The fit of these
Suits is as near perfect as if
they cost $50 a suit, made
to order, instead of Sl5,
ready for immediate use.
We freely acknowledge
that never before in the
history Of our business ca
reer have we been able to
offer such great values for
the amount we name. From
this assortment the man of
elegant leisure, the man of
taste and refinement, the
professional man, the tour
ist, the mechanic, the mer.
chant, and the millionaire
can be suited with ease !; in
fact and in truth. here are
Suits at $15 each fit for any
gentleman to wear, and we
absolutely guarantee the
wear and service of eacha and
every one of them. Don't
miss seeing them.

Another Administrator Baby.

There is another administration baby. It
also is n girl, and singularly enough the Navy
Department shelters its paternal progenitor.
The happy father is Mr.. E. A. Atkinson, the
genial messenger 10 Secretary Whitney, and
the department rejoices with him. A western
paper said some time ago that this administra.
tion would "be remembered In history as the
one in which pretty much everybody die" II
looks as though the past record might be buried
by the list of administration births.

stTuction of railways in Persia by American

He Had 10 Wait.

Detroit Free Press: On a Michigan
Central train the other day, as the
'.butcher" came into the car with a
basket Of oranges, an old man, whose
wife sat beside him, was very anxious
to buy u half dozen, but she waved the
boy on with:
.'IIe can't have EN-. He never eats
one but the juice runs down on his shirt
bosom"
''Shoo! but | want two or three,
Hammer" he protested.
You behave yourself. YOU want to
get cramps and raise a great row,
don't you?"
The boys soon returned with boxed
figs, and then the old man beckoned to
him and began to lick his chops.
Pass right on!' said the woman to
the boy. HE hain't eat IA fig for thirty
years, and | guess he a &C thirty
more"
The boypassed on and returned with
peanuts. The old man was ready for
him, but the wife protested:
He can't eat 'em. It's been ten
years since he had a tooth in his head,
and he'd have to swallow 'cm whole.
No, Reuben, you let peanuts alone
Twenty minutes later the boy was
back with candy packages, in which
there were prizes, and the old man
exclaimed:
..Ill have one o them or-bust!'
Then you'll bust" she replied, as
she motioned the boy TO pass on. ''lt's
agin the Lord and the law to take
chances, an you wouldn't get nothing
nohow.'
''But I'm going to buy suthin,' Han
ncr.'

Getting Supper in a Western Hotel.

In the smoking car there was a con
versation about country hotels. A
commercial traveller told of his expert
ence out in Iowa. He arrived one even
ing about 1880 at the only hotel in a
little town on the line of the North
western, and found the landlord play
ing checkers with one of his boarders.
'Put your grip down thar" said the
innkeeper, not once lifting his eyes
from the checker-board, land if YOU
want to wash up you'll find basin out
by the pump"
"Can L get some Supper?"
''Wait a minute and I'll see."
Twenty minutes later the landlord.
having finished his game of checkers,
went into the rear part of the house
and soon returned with a gloomy look
on his face, followed by a big woman
with straight red hair, u norid face and
a black ey .
You mt supper, do you?' she ex-
claimed, ossing her head in the direc-
ton of the hungry traveller. who had
not broken his fast for eight hours.
Eyes, if you'll be so kind
''Well, don't you know that the
hours for meals in all first-class hotels
out this way are, supper from 6 o'clock
TO G:l5, breakfast at $50, and dinner
at II sharpP Pretty time of night this
is to come around asking for supper. Ii
you want anything to eat in this house
you want to get around in time. Hurry
your boots in the morning and get ont
of bed at 6 o'clock and you'll get some
breakfast. You can't get no supper
tonight.
The commercial traveller went To a
neighboring grocery, lunched on crack
ers and cheese, and took a midnight
train for the next town.

UNDER THE APPLE TREES


TWO PICTURES,
They sat beneath a perfumed shade,
While fragrant blossoms drifting down,
Fell lightly on a fair-haired maid,
And wreathed her lovers locks Of brown.
The drcwsy bees hummed in the boughs,
Extracting honey cool and sweet;
And breezes soft, that famed their brows,
Shook snow-white petals at their feet.
The sky burned crimson In the west,
And tinged the maiden's cheek rose-blush
While in her lovers throbbipg breast
There glowcd a deeper, warmer flush,
AS on her rose-red lips he pressed
A thrilling and eutrancing kiss,
Aud Grew her head upon his breast,
He fondly told a tale like this:
Tomorrow eve we will be wed;
AS you stand in white array.
These blossoms sweet shall crown you
head
A coronet from smiling May"
But she made answer: "Queenly June
VIII come with roses In her arms,
To sing a more enchanting tune,
And WOO US with a thousand charms.
"These apple blossoms are passing sweet,
AS on us they are drifting down,
Cool, soft and fragrant at our feet:
But give to me June's rose-leaf crown.
Thus while they sit-these levers fond
Well turn another scene to sight;
An apple orchard, just beyond,
Where falls the sunsets crimson light.
IN old man sits beneath the tree,
And soft, sweet blossoms drifting down,
On whitened locks are falling free,
Those locks in bygone days So brown!
He sits alone to- night and signs,
While tears his faded eyes bedim;
Yon sunset, with its thousand dyes,
Holds in its glow faint light for him.
With trembling voice he calls a name
That now, as always, he holds dear;
Although unknown TO earthly fame,
1t gave to him life's sweetest cheer.
From out a volume worn with age.
He lifts a lock OF golden hair;
And falling blossoms kiss the page
That years had held the treasure fair.

GARDEN.

The sunfcwers by the garden wall,
Unblinking, stare up To the sun;
The figs beside the gateway tall
Are purpllng for my pretty one.
lie beneath the Ieafy vine
That forms the arbor's grateful shade,
And watch the clusters, rich In wine,
Blush with the nectar yet unmade.
Lulled by the lazy hum OF bees,
Half doing on my bed Of rue,
hear, from yonder clump OF trees,
AS miles away the ring-doycs' coo.
The yarrow and the comfrey grow
Beside the walk, those brothers twain,
W%herewith my grandam many a woe
Has cured, and many a dreary pain.
And exc the fenneI and the sage,
Hoarhound and catnip, famed for tea,
Stand conscious, like an eastern mage, 4
Or wondrous powers that in them be.
And parsley that full many a boar,
In England's merry days hath crowned,
Proud OF it's noble use Of yore,
Curls, scorning humber herbs around.
And thyme that frantic drives the bees,
Contending with the butterflies
Who first the envied bloom shall seize.
And rob 1t Of its honied !. r..
Beneath the willow stands the urn,
And Faunus there doth never cease
His dreaming marble eyes to turn
In search of Uryad-hauated Greece.
GIandmother's garden favored spot,
Where peeping forth its leaves Cf green,
l see the yellow apricot
Nod to the scarlet nectarine.
Grandmother's garden well ! know
Its tlower-bordered walks, its trees;
Such golden fruit did never grow
Where watched the fair Hesperides.
How green this simple ancient close!
How cool when twilight gins to fall
How sweet the odor Of the rose
That Chambers DER the messy wall!
o little spring of fragrant thyme
Which chiidhood's fingers did bestow
ThOu'st coniured up in modern rhyme
The garden of the long ago!
There world-sick !, In fancy rest
Like some poor child, hurt In its play,
That lies upon It's mothers breast,
And sobs It's every grief away.
w. +. Dumas In the Atlanta Constitutio
